If he lets in another bad one early you have to think about putting in Vladar.

I felt the same way but there was an article up on flamesnation.ca that did a decent job dissecting this.
Basically, last year Marky played them twice at some awkward points right when he came back from injury and two games after that Vancouver game he got a concussion in them was off for the injury. He didn't play well at all. Then also the team wasn't as good. This year his overall numbers are the same but when you dig in a bit he's been a .920 goalie even strength but the oilers PP has improved dramatically.
All that being said, stay out of the box and I have no worry about his Edmonton ability. GFG!
